KAI agrees to expand aerospace cooperation with Indonesia

SEOUL, November 13 (AJP) - Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) has signed a series of memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with Indonesia's aerospace company PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) to expand cooperation, the state-run defense contractor said on Friday.

The latest agreements cover local production of KF-21 structural components, joint simulator development and technical exchanges, as well as potential business opportunities in the civil aviation market including the development of a midsize passenger aircraft. The partnership builds on decades of cooperation, with Indonesia serving as a joint development partner for the KF-21 and an early overseas buyer of KAI's KT-1 and T-50 aircraft.
